Check out SupraROM. Its not totally AOSP though. But it is a healthy mix of good Sense 3.0 elements and some aosp elements like icons and taskbar to name just some of the modifications.
[Desire Themes and Apps] fatcon:
Hi,

Wondered if anyone could help out here. There are several potential glitches here.

Anyway. I bought isyncr for my Desire in order to ditch my ipod, i bought this because it claims to sync play counts as well as general itunes syncing.

I have managed to get this to work, but only when i use Android Music 2.3.0b7, it will not work using PowerAmp or Music version 2.3.3. The latter is the default player on the phone and i can't uninstall.

The problem that i have is that last.fm is reverse, so this will scrobble with seemingly any player except for Android Music 2.3.0b7.

Is there a way to remove the standard Android Player (Music version 2.3.3) or to force Last.fm to recognize a different player namely Android Music 2.3.0b7?

Would be great if someone could help.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cambridgeblue:
Hi all...

After waiting ages for the official HTC GB update and being totally let down I have decided to bite the bullet and get a custom rom on my Desire.

However the custom rom for n00bs guide still seems scarily complex with so many different steps to complete.

So my question is this - does anyone know anywhere in London (ideally in Wandsworth or the City of London) where I can pay to get the latest version of Leedroid installed for me? I know there are places that can unlock your sim or repair your cracked screen so surely there must be places that will root your device and install your rom of choice.

Thanks in advance

CB.

Otherwise...many, many folks have gone thru the procedure (even total techno-phobes like myself!!) and come thru without dramas. And if you do the job yourself, you will know what to do if/when you decide to flash other ROMs in future...save forking out every time you want to update.

I didn't have a clue how to root my Desire, but on monday after the whole bit about the HTC GB release I decided to give it a try.

cha cha

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but is there anyone in London preferably North or maybe East who could help me with this?

My better half has a cha cha which has the usual woes and I gather I need an XTC clip to gain s-off and install a custom rom.

I'm not incredibly computer literate, but I think i could install the rom assuming someone can help me gain S-off. I'm happy to pay for the service.

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
a quick read of this chacha thread will be more useful, says you don't need XTC clip.

you can unlock your bootloader via HTCdev. it won't give you s-off, but you can still root and install custom rom.

in all honesty you'd be much better off learning how to do it yourself. it sounds daunting at first, many people who have gone down this route have had no prior experience. like many things it really is about patience, reading and understanding. plus it's more satisfying :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gashspit:
My mistake, I think I may be confusing myself.

I read this bit

"Therefore you cannot install a custom ROM on a non-S-OFF-non-bootloader-unlocked-non-rooted-non-CWM phone. Understood? "

To mean that I needed s off to install a custom rom?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
don't just read selective confusing bits, slow down, read the whole post again, several times.

i picked an easier to understand quote...

"Unlocking the bootloader will allow you to flash CWM, root your phone and install custom roms. Unlocking the bootloader will NOT give you S-OFF!"

this is all part of the reading and learning i mentioned ;) i don't even own that phone but a quick read suggests that guide is pretty comprehensive...

if it still doesnt make sense search around in the chacha threads as it's for that phone, nothing to do with desire :o

good luck!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TabascoTX:
Any chance of a full Xperia Rom? I know there's one that uses the launcher but was wondering if there could be a chance of a full rom with all the apps.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
No, you can only use the apps like launcher from it. It would be very hard to port from a sony device since the drivers are different. But there's most likely very little interest in that...This phone will have ports from HTC devices mostly, miui, and there's a nice droid/blur port by raffy floating around. Besides that we have no LG, no Huawei, no Sammy, no Sony, no IOS ports, no WebOS ports for any HTC based devices, why you ask? Since most things wont even work and the interest isn't there. For the Galaxy S there's a Sense port, but it barely works, lots of work went in to it but it's hard to get the thing functional.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TabascoTX:
was actually just kinda wondering. I like liquid metal alot. But really want the updated Playstation app.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] swordlink:
I have found that you can disable scrollable wallpaper if you install LauncherPro or any other launcher, but can it be done some other way in my sense homescreen?

My overall goal is to have a really minimal "center home screen" (a disabled scrolling wallpaper), and only see buttons/folders/etc when I scroll..

[HTC EVO 3D] PMGRANDS:
Hey guys I've been shopping around for a new phone lately and I've been thinking about buying the Evo 3D. Now I'm aware that this phone is Fairly New, but I'm just wondering if Anyone is Disappointed with any part of it, or if its just Truly living up to what Sprint claims it is... (a Great phone).

With that said, can you guys maybe give me a brief listing of your Likes/Dislikes?

Also what's the deal with the Permanent Root/Recovery Situation?

Thanx in Advance!
[HTC EVO 3D] RomanHelmet:
I personally love the phone. No dislikes. It is my first android device though. Super quick, everything is so smooth. You can't really do anything to make it stutter. Battery life is pretty good. With moderate usage I was getting about 12+ hours.

Check the development forum section for info on s-off/root. There's plenty of instructions on getting s-off and root.

I'm still testing, but I just flashed some new roms that remove a lot of the bloat that comes stock on the phone and my battery life seems to have almost doubled. Wouldn't be surprised to get a full 24 hours out of it right now.
[HTC EVO 3D] PMGRANDS:
I'll do that... Thanx for your Reply!
[HTC EVO 3D] nealwheels:
I upgraded from the Evo 4G to the Evo 3D.

Likes:

Processor speed (very responsive)

Battery life (compared to stock Evo 4g battery)

Additional storage

Dislikes:

Skinnier screen (makes Swype keyboard keys too small)

5mb Camera (would rather have the 8mb cam from Evo 4g, than the 3D cam ability)

Side location of USB port

Screen lock (very annoying, can't turn off)
[HTC EVO 3D] hockeyfamily737:
Coming from the Hero.....This is a HUGE upgrade buddy. No dissapointments here, and now that we have s-off and full root the developement on this phone is absolutely exploding. There's really no better options then this for sprint in the forseeable future. The Photon just came out, but that's likely to be lockdowned worse then this was, SG2 is still rumor only (never officially announced by Sprint) and the Hero2 will be a lower end phone (single core, less ram etc.)

[HTC EVO 3D] RomanHelmet:

Photon looks promising by the way.
[HTC EVO 3D] PMGRANDS:
First off, Thanx All!!

Next I Definitely Agree with you, Almost Anything is a Considerable Upgrade from my Poor Old Hero!

I'd also like to know, is the Battery on the Evo 3D the same size as the Hero's? My girl has a Droid Inc. and its the Same... just wondering if I could Switch batteries from phone to phone?

Thanx Again guys!
[HTC EVO 3D] hockeyfamily737:
No. The Hero's battery is much smaller (sorry the exact specs elude me at the moment). E3d battery life is far superior to that of the Hero in my experience with the 2 phones. Same usage nets me much better life with the 3D...light usage I can get almost 2 days of charge. VERY heavy usage, I'm still around 12 hours with 4 hours "screen on" time.

[HTC Incredible S] Freka:
Someone wants to trade me their Nexus S for my HTC Incredible S... Do you guys think I should do it? The only reason I want to is because I can root the Samsung as my Incredible is running the Bell gingerbread update which means I can't. I really want to try the MIUI rom but I am a huge fan of Sense.

Hard decision lol. What do you guys think I should do?
[HTC Incredible S] doctorsax:
Um... Make your own decision? It's down to personal preference after all. Who knows when someone will find an exploit for that Bell ROM.

One thing I will mention that people often overlook: the Nexus S has no SD card slot. So if you ditch your IS and you have an SD card it'll be useless after the swap.
[HTC Incredible S] Freka:
I am just looking for some feedback if maybe someone has owned a Nexus S and what their honest opinion is.
[HTC Incredible S] ottawadad34:
I had a nexus s and what stands out more is the camera is not as good, front and back nor can it record in hd plus like was said earlier, no SD card. It does have lots of roms though.
[HTC Incredible S] thakur90:
My close friend just a nexus s .... I must say that phone feels cheap right away.... I mean there's nothing but plastic.... Incredible s on the other hand gives an impression of substance ... That's my preference... A phone that can last.. plus the camera and dual led flash is a bonus.. something that roms cannot give... Just saying.
[HTC Incredible S] coffeedragon:
Just pony up a few bucks and find your "local" XTC Clip to get hardware S-OFF. I just paid $20 for it as I'm using a VZW unit with Gingerbread and I had no choice, other than waiting for a new exploit.

I agree the Nexus isn't in the same realm as the IS so unless you're getting some cash along with the phone I'd keep the IS, Clip it and flash away.
[HTC Incredible S] Freka:
Yea thanks for the input guys. I decided to hold on to my incredible because I love it :).

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivegottheskill:
I know not all users do this, but whenever I flash a new ROM, I generally like to wipe data/dbdata/cache and dalvik from the phone. Then flash the ROM, do a full factory reset and wipe the internal SD card as well. I've never experienced any random reboots personally after following this proceedure.

It means I have to backup and restore apps using Titanium Backup, and copy over all my music again, but I like knowing I've got the cleanest possible installation
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
While I respect the cajones your flashing procedure requires, and agree that it will ensure a perfect ROM flash, every time....it still strikes me a little like doing the dishes by lighting the kitchen on fire.

Unless a new ROM specifically calls for a /data wipe aka factory reset I would propose this less extreme method to the OP which should still solve their reboot problems in most cases:

1) Go into Recovery

2) Clear the Dalvik cache

3) Clear or Format the /cache

4) Format the /system directory (this will not wipe your apps or data, it will just clear the system files that are most likely to cause conflicts with the new ROMK, hence reboots)

5) Flash the new ROM

6) Flash new gapps (optional but usually saves hassles down the line)

7) Fix Permissions

8) Reboot

That should fix you up 9 times out of 10. If you are still seeing reboots, then do a factory reset from recovery to clear out all your apps, reflash your current ROM and then reinstall your non-system apps from either the market or Titanium backup one by one (without data if at all possible). Try to stagger the reinstall so you can try and isolate if the reboot problem is due to a specific app (doubtful since normally an app will fc, not reboot the entire system, but it is possible).

Any questions, let me know, and good luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivegottheskill:
I agree, but when I've had problems (or when I'm installing a completely different ROM), I like to use the procedure I mentioned. It gets rid of any old stuff that might be left behind from a mixture of old ROM's, kernels, themes and apps. I thought trying it might help solve the OP's problem
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Woolf:
Agreed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sidneymac:
In 14 hours ive experienced one reboot, but the yesterday I had like 10 reboots.

I usually factory reset etc and most roms clean everything before installing anyways.

And to keep my apps etc when I format the /system directory I guess I should pick the no wipe rom package ?

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LysolPionex:
The in-call speaker on my wife's Aria doesn't consistently work for calls. I've replaced the digitizer on it, but I don't think it's hardware related, because I took the battery out while it was on, and when I started it up again, it worked; and sometimes it works, then doesn't, then does.

What happens is when she calls or is called the speaker just doesn't work. She transfers the sound to the external speaker and it works fine.

She's running the Liberated ROM (not sure what version, sorry; I can find out if needed).

Thanks for any help!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
It's probably a loose connection.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtnlion:
Using a wired headset has screwed 2 arias for me now.sometimes I can wiggle the plug before I remove it and get the speaker to work but generally I just turn speakerphone on and turn the volume all the way down to use the ear speaker.fairly common problem.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodstarbuck:
I'm going to agree on this one. I've taken my Aria apart more times than I probably should have... the first cellphone I've ever repaired on my own, so go figure.

My bet would be that the in-call speaker is still in place, but loose. If you open it up again, the piece you're looking for is maybe a half-inch long rectangular block with two prongs on one side. If the phone is sitting screen up, the prongs should be facing down with the points towards the top of the cell phone. It sits in a little recess above the lcd assembly.

You need to push the piece up so it's snug in it's little recess. Easy peasy.

If you've already done a digitizer replacement, you should have the tools to do a quick check and make sure the speaker is secure in the proper position.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
I still think it may be a loose speaker connection, but I also think mtnlion could be right, too.

When the in-call speaker does not work, does the phone show an icon in the notification bar that indicates that a headset is connected?

In any case, I do think it's a hardware issue and not a software issue. But if the OP really wants to be certain, he can install another ROM and see if the same problem occurs.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LysolPionex:
Yeah, I took the thing apart again, and stretched those prongs a bit to make the speaker fit more snugly; hasn't had the problem since. But I think now the seal isn't quite as tight as it used to be so her screen "squishes". That'll be another day.

Thanks for the thoughts on it.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodstarbuck:
Adhesive issues

I had that issue too. To fix it, all I had to do was use a space heater (or a blow dryer) on the phone (take the battery, sim card and SD card out first) for about 15 minutes. Then take it and smoosh it underneath something flat and heavy like a book, but make sure to put something down beneath it so the screen doesn't get scratched. Once it cools down, it should be significantly less squishy.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mashedbymachines:
I dont know if anyone has mentioned this before, but people here tend to think that a B50 unit is different from a B60 unit, and that they are made in seperate batches. But thats not really the case:

I spoke to a guy in ASUS support, and he told me that B4 indicates that it was made in april, B5 in May and so on. The number after the B is the number for the month it was made in. Thats why some people with B5O units have the battery drain problem and others dont, they changed something in the middle of may.
